About this app

The Garmin Drive™ app is a simple and convenient app solution for the latest Garmin automotive navigators and dash cams. Visit garmin.com/driveapp for a list of compatible devices.

For compatible navigators, the Garmin Drive app provides real-time information for traffic, parking, advanced weather, and photoLive traffic cameras, in addition to the ability to send and receive calls, texts, and notifications from your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device.

For compatible dash cams, the Garmin Drive app provides quick access to camera controls, settings, and recorded footage. Up to four dash cams can be wirelessly connected with the Dash Cam Auto Sync feature to provide comprehensive coverage around a vehicle, offering various viewpoints recorded by the multiple cameras. The Garmin Drive app can create a “picture-in-picture” video from any two perspectives at the same time, making it easy to review video and also share videos with friends, insurance agencies, or legal authorities.

Garmin Speak™ with Amazon Alexa brings what you love about Amazon Alexa to your vehicle. Just ask Alexa to hear music, news, and more. Also, enjoy Garmin turn-by-turn navigation. Stream the audio (music and other responses) from your vehicle’s stereo when you connect Garmin Speak to your stereo using Bluetooth® or AUX.

Older Bluetooth-capable Garmin navigators are compatible with the Garmin Smartphone Link app, and older Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin dash cams can access video footage through the Garmin VIRB app.

Very basic app that's EXCESSIVELY power hungry even regardless of gps unit connection. I have the s24 Ultra and am an advanced Android OS user. I do know how to "fix" the issue, but shouldn't need to nor should I have to launch the app to have it reconnect to my GPS unit. If I didn't for crucial information to be displayed on my RV 1095. Traffic, weather, weather radar, notifications, etc. For these reasons, 2 stars, if not, 1. I've used it less than 10 times in 3 years only to pair devices.

Garbage app., and developers have to do a better job keeping up with the current versions of android. First of all, I can't use the app while the car is not running and can't see any videos or photos saved. Also, it had a hard time connecting to the car, which is newer. So garmin, please fix some of these issues so we can better utilize the app.

The app is absolutely useless now. It won't let me send addresses from the app to my Garmin anymore. I've made sure that it's updated, cleared the cache and the data multiple times. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled many times to get it to work and it doesn't. Tried to contact Garmin and all they ask for you do is send your data logs. No solution aside from the ones I presented above, and no response after you give them what they ask for. Again absolutely useless app now.
